Evil At The Wayward Inn

'No more boarders,'  
the inn keeper spewed  
raising her arms in the air.  
People once came to the inn in droves  
because it was a quaint little structure  
with flower beds surrounding it  

It stood on the outskirts of town  
a darling little place it was  
that is until the unthinkable occurred  
Some tennants were good renters  
perhaps the majority of them were  
 
Then came a drifter with a scraggly beard and shifty eyes  
He tried to make the inn his home  
much to the innkeeper's chagrin  
There was something odd about him  
 
As the innkeeper put the red hair dye  
in her graying hair  
she dropped a bit in the sink  
and cursed under her breath  
there's a spot that will take it's time to fade  
 
It was a dark night that the evil struck bloody screams shattering the quiet  
The shifty eyed tennant took an axe  
to a young woman who lived in the back  
then all was silent  again but for his gruesome hacks
